"Web
Page Revelation"

I believe this revelation applies to the body
of Christ and is a current move of the Lords Spirit world wide.
The middle of May 1998 the Lord moved me to fast and pray. It was during this time that I was formally introduced to the internet. Up until this time, I had no desire at all to get into this stuff. During a prayer time, the Lord spoke to me to create a web page. Once again the Lord asked me to do something that I didn't have a clue about. But I was willing.
In prayer times I would continue to see a web page, and a captains wheel. I also saw a eagle swooping down with talons stretched out ready to snatch the prey. I saw a balance with a woman holding it, and a lead weight that was being uncovered from a basket of wickedness. The Lord spoke to me that this nation is being weighed in the balance and has been found wanting. The Lord calls us, His special people and we are expected to have just weight and balance. Prophets such as Isaiah, Jerimiah and Ezekiel use the picture of weights and balances to call Israel to repentance and righteous living. Proper scales become the symbol of human integrity, honesty and righteousness.
During that time frame, at our service one Friday night, we got caught up in worship. Spiritually we were in the Holy of Holies and visions of the ark and coals were seen. The Lord revealed to me an ink well and writers quill. Then I saw an fountain pen and notebook....then a computer keyboard. The Lord asked me...."Daughter, what do these have in common?" I said writing.... Lord. He said, "You're right, and you shall write all I give you." The different means of writing, speaks of the advances of communications. Clara, a deaconess here at this ministry, shared a dream with us that evening and my daughter Meggie had a dream that went with Claras dream. Some of the dream that Clara had is personal, so I will relate only what is applicable to the body of Christ. She saw a room filled with people, with a lot of clamor. She heard lots of voices speaking negative about what was going on in the next room. She related that none of the distractions were hindering what I had to do. As we walked into the next room, it appeared to be outside somewhere. On the ground was a white sheet that went as far as the eye could see. The edges were emerald green and the sheet was pure white. She further related, that two people I know, walked out on the sheet, then she said I prophesied, "your mouth, your hands and feet." These two people fell under the power of God, then I walked out on the sheet and I fell under the power. The Lord gave me the interpretation the next morning.
The pure white sheet represents a web page. The pure white.... symbolic of the purity of the words and the means on which they are written. The emerald green border symbolic of new beginning. The size of the page as far as the eye can see, represents the ramifications of influence and international scope, for there seemed to be no end, like looking at the horizon. The prophesy, "your mouth, your hands & feet" means that the spoken, written, walked out word of God shall multiply beyond our traditional methods. We will literally walk out the living Word of God......for we stand on His Word.
Cyberspace belongs to the kingdom and we are to possess it by force. Remember, we will face new devils on new levels. International cyberspace devils. Possessing the land includes the internet. Ramifications of influence in every nation, in isolated areas, we will go into all the world with the gospel.
You may wonder, why God would ask me to do something that I don't know how to do. Not only did the Lord tell me to create a web page, He also gave me a time frame in which it would be done. The Lord spoke to me, that the page would be up by the end of June. That was quite a step, since I didn't know how to walk. The beginning of June, I did not have a clue what to do, I just prayed and took off exploring on the web, learning all I could. Around the end of May when I was playing on the computer, my son taught me how to surf the web. Of course, being from the prophetic persuasion, I surfed right in to the prophets camp ground. I was amazed how much prophetic words there were available and easily got lost inside every night for hours. For some reason, I kept being drawn like a magnet to a place called Faith Tabernacle. It did not matter where I explored, I always ended up back there somehow. It was during this time frame that the Lord spoke to me about striking the waters, casting salt and pronouncing jubilee over this area. I came to the small straws, trumpet and what's up pages. I read prophecies that were like coded orders for me. They were exactly what God had said for me to do. I went to the rivers on May 31, 1998 feast of Pentecost. Since that day, it has been like a cap came off this particular well, and has been gushing ever since. Oh yeah..... the web page was up by June 24, 1998. To the Glory of The Father!

Columbine & the End of Time
Rick Joyner
CopyRight Morning Star Ministries
[At the time of this writing--June, 1999]
It has now been over two months since the tragic massacre
at Columbine
High School in Littleton, Colorado. There have
been worse tragedies
this year, but this one gripped the nation like few others
have. It
is fitting because this one was like a trip wire which
has set off a
series of events that have the power to define our future.
Shortly after the shooting, I visited the school with
a group of NFL
players from CAUSE (Christian Athletes United for Spiritual
Empowerment). It has taken me this long to process
all that I learned
during that visit. This is a personal report with
a prophetic
perspective. Understanding that "we prophesy in
part" (I Corinthians
13:9), I certainly do not claim that this includes a
complete
understanding of these issues. Even so, there are
some things that
must be said. This tragedy highlights some of the
critical issues of
our time, and we must understand them or we will be subject
to them on
an ever increasing basis.
Where are we now?
If the real issues that led to the Littleton and other
tragedies are
not addressed, what happened in Littleton will be only
the tip of the
iceberg for the violence that is about to be released
in our schools
and neighborhoods. Schools all over the country
have been subject to
almost continual threats of violence, and as the police
in some cases
found out, an alarming number of these threats were backed
up by plans
to follow through with them.
As I warned at a conference in Colorado shortly before
the Columbine
incident, "Lawlessness has been sown in the hearts of
our children and
we are about to start reaping it." For years we
have published other
prophetic warnings about the terrorism that is about
to be released
against our children, and through them. The time
that we have warned
about is now here. Can it be stopped? Yes!
However, there is no law
that can be passed that will stop it. This is beyond
human remedy.
These things are the result of a nation turning from
God, and the only
way that they can be reversed is if we turn back to Him.
As the saying goes, "If you do not change your direction,
you will end
up where you are headed." We are headed toward
chaos, anarchy.
People in authority also know that it is very close to
being beyond
their ability to control. This will not happen
immediately. It will
come in ever increasing and more powerful waves, but
it is where we
are now headed. Even so, the Holy Spirit knows
how to deal with
chaos. He moved upon the formless void in the beginning
and brought
forth this beautiful and gloriously intricate creation
out of it. If
we are abiding in the Holy Spirit, we will not be intimated
by any
degree of chaos or confusion, but we will see each circumstance
as an
opportunity for Him to bring forth the new creation.
The One who
lives within us is much greater than the one who is seeking
to kill
and destroy.
Even so, for Christians to be the light of the world and
the salt that
we have been called to be, we must learn to confront
chaos and
lawlessness, seeing them as opportunities for the gospel
and for the
Holy Spirit to bring harmony out of the chaos.
Unbelievers, and
Christians who have been duped by humanistic philosophies
will see
this as spiritual opportunism, but we no longer have
time to worry
about what others think. What is the purpose of
our faith if it is
not to help those who have been afflicted by the diabolical
schemes of
the enemy? The church must respond to disasters
that have brought
chaos to people's lives with the only true answer to
every human
problem the love of God which is manifested in the gospel
of Jesus
Christ.
The Trip
When Keith Johnson, the leader of CAUSE, and Reggie White
asked me to
go with them to Littleton I agreed immediately.
I knew there was
something of major prophetic significance that we needed
to learn from
this tragedy. I was also very interested in this
particular group
that was going. They were all athletes and black,
the primary targets
that the assassins at Columbine were looking for.
The other athletes who came were Michael Dean Perry, Quadra
Ismael,
Leonard Wheeler, Doug Scott, Arnias Williams, and Randall
Cunningham.
Many of the wives also came, not just to support their
husbands, but
to powerfully share the gospel at both the high school
and the rally
that CAUSE sponsored on Saturday night. The wives
included Sara
White, Trina Perry, Felicity Cunningham, Shandra Wheeler
and Andrea
Johnson. Nicky Cruz also joined the team to give
the altar call at
the rally. Nicky may have one of the world's greatest
testimonies,
and though he has shared it many thousands of times,
it is fresh and
full of life every time. I have met few people
who love to talk of
God's salvation more than Nicky.
Friday morning we went to Chatham High School which is
now sharing its
facilities with the students from Columbine High.
When we met the
principal of Columbine High, I was immediately impressed
by the
quality and sincerity of this man. I felt strongly
that he was a true
shepherd with as great a pastor's calling as I have seen,
even though
I knew that he was in the right place serving as a principal.
Presently, some of the Lord's most effective shepherds
are functioning
in their ministries in secular positions, and he is certainly
one of
them.
As we mingled later with the students, I watched as many
of them came
up to give the principal a hug, and almost everyone who
saw him at
least waved to him with sincere warmth. When I
asked him how many
children he had, he responded without hesitation that
he had 1,900
children. I felt that he really did view them all
as his personal
kids. When he was telling me what it was like to
see them gunned down
and then attend over a dozen of their funerals, I thought
that he
might fall apart. I knew that he was trying to
hold it together only
because someone had to be strong for the sake of the
kids. I continue
to pray for this extraordinary man.
We moved from the principal's office to the cafeteria,
and soon
hundreds of students had gathered. Because the
two schools were
sharing facilities, with the Chatham High students there
in the
morning and the Columbine students there in the afternoon,
we met with
the Chatham students first. I was surprised by
how serious they were
and how seemingly desperate they were for answers.
The students all
recognized Reggie White and Michael Dean Perry, who was
an All-Pro for
the Denver Broncos. Large groups began to form
around each of the
athletes, and one by one each of the athletes shared
a brief message
of encouragement.
As I stood next to the principal, I was amazed by how
every message
flowed together, even though I knew none of them had
rehearsed what
they were going to say. I remembered how the Lord
had said to a few
of us back in the early 1980s that some of His most important
leaders
were going be professional athletes. The sports
world was their
seminary where they were learning some of the most important
lessons
that the church did not teach, such as teamwork.
This was a team!
They all preferred and supported one another, each one
being careful
not to take time that belonged to someone else.
I thought about how
hard it would be to get a group of ministers who would
have done that
well!
The anointing was so strong that the students listened
with a respect
and silence that I have never seen from such a large
group of
teenagers. I was surprised as they cheered when
the Lord's name was
mentioned. I turned to the principal and told him
that I hoped we did
not get him into trouble for preaching so boldly.
His immediate
response was that he no longer cared about things like
that. He said
that these men were the only ones who had come with answers,
and were
saying exactly what the students needed to hear.
He was concerned
with one thing-- seeing his kids get healed.
It was an exhilarating, but sobering morning with the
Chatham High
students, but it hardly prepared me for the afternoon
with the
Columbine students. They had received a dose of
reality that is
seldom seen on anyone except war veterans who have recently
come out
of combat. When I first looked at them, I saw teenagers,
but with a
maturity on most of them far beyond their years.
They seemed almost
regal. The most regal in spirit are those who are
driven with focus
by a noble purpose, and that is what I saw on these students.
As I
looked again, I saw kids who were still in shock, traumatized
and
confused and who were many times more desperate for answers
than the
students we had met with that morning. I then understood
that I was
seeing into the future, and that these students had destiny
written
all over them.
One by one the athletes took their turn sharing.
Since the principal
had allowed the students to forgo their classes, the
cafeteria and the
balconies overlooking it were packed with hundreds of
students
standing in remarkable silence trying to catch every
word.
After the athletes took their turns speaking, they moved
among the
students to meet with them personally. Large groups
gathered around
each one. There was no altar call, as that would
have been a
violation of authority, and it also would have been a
violation of the
Holy Spirit. It was a time to sow seeds and to
invite the students to
come to the rally that we were having the next night
at the Orchard
Road Christian Center Marilyn Hickey co-pastors with
her husband in
Denver.
JAM
The purpose of the rally was to kick off the new movement
born out of
a vision given to Keith Johnson. It is called JAM,
for Just-A-Minute.
When Keith heard that the 911 call from the students
at Columbine had
come in at 11:21 a.m. on that terrible day, the
Lord told Him to call
students everywhere to take that time each day to say
a one minute
prayer for their schools, faculties and fellow students.
The
Scripture that the Lord gave to Keith for this was John
11:21, which
says, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not
have died."
Revelation 3:20 reveals that the Lord will not enter where
He is not
invited. As Psalm 115:16 states, "The heavens are
the heavens of the
LORD; but the earth He has given to the sons of men."
The Lord
delegated authority over the earth to man, and "the gifts
and calling
of God are without repentance" (Romans 11:29 KJV), which
means that he
will not take them back. That is why the Lord will
not do things on
earth until we ask Him, even though He knows what we
need before we
ask Him. This is why Jesus had to become a man
to redeem the earth,
and why He always referred to Himself as the "Son of
Man" when He
walked the earth.
When prayer was removed from public schools, the grace
of God was
removed in a profound way. I agree, as probably
most Christians do,
that prayer should not be imposed on anyone. Any
religion, including
Christianity, that is imposed on others, will bring forth
the most
perverted and dangerous form of religion. Even
Christianity imposed
will bring forth that which is more of the nature of
Satan than
Christ, as history abundantly testifies. Nevertheless,
it is quite
amazing that the President of the United States and a
multitude of
other government officials would ask people to pray for
Littleton and
the students at Columbine High School during this tragedy,
but just
not to do it in the school! If our government wants
to remove God
from our schools it can, because the Lord has given them
the authority
to do so. However, those who have done this must
also take
responsibility for the consequences.
As I prophesied years ago, the time is coming when officials
will be
begging for prayer to be returned to the schools.
That time is at
hand because Columbine and the other recent school massacres
are only
a few pebbles rolling down the hill that foreshadow a
great landslide
soon to follow. Lawlessness has been sown in the
hearts of our
children and we are now reaping it. As we have
shared in a number of
our previous writings, some of the worst crimes in the
future are
going to come from children. The children really
are for signs and
wonders, for both good and evil.
The JAM movement can be a spark that helps turn the tide.
It has
already caught on with students in many places and is
spreading
rapidly. Movements like this can help, but ultimately
the church must
arise to be the light that she is called to be, having
the ultimate
answers to every human problem which we have been given
through the
gospel of Jesus Christ. We must break out of the
prison of the four
walls of our buildings and use the divinely powerful
weapons of love
and truth with which we have been entrusted to bring
down enemy
strongholds.
Why?
I took my oldest daughters, Anna and Aaryn, with me to
Littleton,
along with a couple of their friends. I wanted
them to be impacted by
what had happened there. I know that their generation
will soon
endure even worse things if some of the ultimate issues
that led to
this one are not addressed by those who have been entrusted
with the
Spirit of Truth. As they saw the shattered windows,
bullet holes, the
sidewalk where a dead student lay while others ran past
to escape, and
the library where such terror and death spread fear to
other students,
parents, and school workers throughout the nation, they
were stunned.
I prayed that this would stir in them questions that
would lead to
answers. When Anna wrote an article about this
trip for The Message,
our Morning Star Youth Journal, she entitled it "Why?"
This is the critical question that we cannot allow to
go unanswered.
Again, the church is called to be the light
of the world, and the church alone has been entrusted
with the truth
that can dispel the darkness. We must
take our stand on sound, biblical truths that can answer
the ultimate
questions. When we can articulate
those truths under the anointing of the Holy Spirit,
no one's worldly
wisdom will be able to stand against it.
More importantly, those in bondage will be set free.
The Two Edges of Our Sword
When I inquired of the Lord about what could be done to
prevent more
"Columbines," He said simply, "Love never fails, but
if the church in
this republic does not learn to love, the end of this
republic is
near." For the Holy Spirit to anoint the truth,
it must be spoken in
the fruit of the Spirit it must be truth spoken in love.
That may
sound simple enough, but in fact the churches, or the
Christians who
actually speak the truth in love are very rare.
I also know by the
Lord's own word to me that I, too, am guilty of not speaking
the truth
in love.
As Francis Frangipane related to me a few days ago, he
was so shocked
by the spirit in which some Christian intercessory prayer
groups had
reacted to some of his recent writings that he began
to understand why
unbelievers are so repelled by Christians. I understood
this well
because of a recent conversation I had with a leader
of a prayer
ministry based in Washington. I do not think that
I have ever talked
to anyone who was not more deceived by extreme reasoning
that leads to
wrong conclusions. I finally had to accept the
fact that it just was
not possible to communicate with him and be understood.
I still do
not even know what we really disagreed about, but I felt
that I had
been treated with far more grace and respect by liberal
and humanistic
groups with whom I totally disagree.
Now, I think that this prayer leader probably has accomplished
a great
deal for the kingdom, and he has probably done much to
help mobilize
the church for prayer, which is the first step if we
are to overcome
some of the ultimate strongholds of our time. However,
the spirit
that I felt was now controlling this man was in fact
the very enemy we
are seeking to cast out. That spirit can get a
hold on any of us at
any time, but it can be easily discerned as we are instructed
in James
3:13,17-18:
Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him
show by his good
behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom...
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable,
gentle,
reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering,
without
hypocrisy.
And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace
by those
who make peace.
If we are going to speak the truth that brings forth righteousness,
it
must be spoken with the gentleness of wisdom. Presently,
the hate
that I feel coming from some Christian groups is greater
than the hate
coming from the heathen. Satan cannot cast out
Satan. Hatred and
bitterness will never cast out unrighteousness.
What the Lord said to
the Sons of Thunder applies to many Christian groups
today they do not
know what spirit they are of, and in many cases they
are trying to do
the right things in the wrong spirit. For all of
the good that they
can do, in the end the damage done to the cause of truth
will be
worse.
If we are going to get out of the devastating trap of
trying to use
truth without love, we must measure what we say with
the knowledge
that "...the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown
in peace by
those who make peace" (James 3:18). As we are warned
in II
Corinthians 11:14: "And no wonder, for even Satan disguises
himself as
an angel of light." An angel of light could be
translated "messenger
of truth." It is one of Satan s strategies to get
us to use truth
without love because he knows that it will never bring
forth true
righteousness. In fact, it will bring forth self-righteousness
that
will do more damage to the cause of truth than even the
evil that we
are often trying to combat. This is why Jesus taught
that sinners
were closer to the kingdom of God than the Pharisees
(Luke 18:9-14).
True righteousness, if founded on grace and truth, will
always bring
forth love. True righteousness is one of the most
attractive and
compelling forces on earth. Self-righteousness
is one of the most
repelling, to both God and man. Therefore, the
answers that we seek
are not just facts, but truths that reveal the character
of God to us
and then through us.
Answers
Again, I want to state that I am offering the following
answers to
what led to the Columbine tragedy from a prophetic perspective.
Because we prophesy in part, I do not presume that these
are the only
answers, but they are some.
SOLUTION #1:
We must ask the Lord to return to our schools.
The obvious, and true, explanation for what is happening
in our
schools is simply that God has been removed from them
and is fast
being asked to leave our society in almost every way.
If we do not
want the Lord's help, He will not impose Himself, but
nothing in
society will work long without Him. When the light
is removed, only
darkness is left. The wheels are coming off of
public education, and
secular humanism (which is the worship of man in place
of God) is the
cause. To deal with this issue in the way that
it deserves would
require many books, and many great books have been written
by others
concerning this, but Christians everywhere must discern
this deadly
enemy and take our stand against it.
A scripture that the Lord gave us several years ago for
our times was
Zechariah 9:13-14:
For I will bend Judah as My bow, I will fill the bow with
Ephraim.
And I will stir up your sons, O Zion, against your sons,
O Greece; and
I will make you like a warrior's sword.
Then the LORD will appear over them, and His arrow will
go forth like
lightning; and the Lord GOD will blow the trumpet, and
will march in
the storm winds of the south.
I believe that the "sons of Greece" here represent humanistic
philosophies of men. As we are warned in
Colossians 2:8:
See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy
and empty
deception, according to the tradition of men, according
to the
elementary principles of the world, rather than according
to Christ.
The truth is that much of the church is captive to these
deceptions,
and much of the doctrine taught within Christianity is
riddled with
it. As Os Guiness pointed out, one of the leading
journals of
conservative, evangelical Christians (who many assume
to be the most
devoted to Scripture), discovered that only 1% of their
articles
contained even one reference to Scripture! There
must be a war
between the "sons of Zion" and the "sons of Greece."
This dilution of
the truth of the Scriptures is certainly one of the main
reasons for
the increasing ineffectiveness of our message to be relevant
to our
times.
SOLUTION #2:
Christians should mobilize to stand up for our Constitutional
rights
to freedom of religion.
This right is now denied in public schools and many other
areas of
society. The longer we wait to mobilize
and take this stand, the more devastating the consequences
will be.
We must stand up for the truth and the rights that were
won for us at
the cost of many lives. Even so, we will accomplish nothing
if we do
not do this with Christian love, in a way that promotes
the fruit of
the Spirit in all things.
SOLUTION #3:
"Love never fails..."
(I Corinthians 13:8).
A young man in our local congregation related how he was
ostracized in
school because he was not a star athlete, or a part of
the "in" crowd.
Because the athletes would hang out in the bathrooms
and pick on
anyone who came in, many of the students could not go
to the bathroom
at school. He said that the first thing he did
every day after
getting off of the bus was to race for the bathroom at
home. He and
others often had their money, books or other valuables,
taken from
them by the athletes. This kid, who is one of the
finest young
Christian men that I know right now, said that a few
years ago he had
started wearing a trench coat to school. When the
tragedy at
Columbine happened, he could still identify with the
rage that the two
assassins felt that led them to do such a thing.
When bitterness is mixed with the demonic music that many
kids are
listening to (which does have a demonic power that can
open people to
demonic possession) and then added to the hopelessness
and lack of
vision which opens these kids to the spirit of suicide
that is
becoming epidemic, we have all the ingredients necessary
for the kind
of catastrophe that we watched on television from Littleton.
Right now there are thousands of kids across the country
who identify
with the two young mass murderers from Littleton as heroes.
Columbine
lit a fuse that is burning, and the explosives at the
end of it are
enough to reduce public schools in our country to the
prison cells of
a police state. There will be a lot of students
who use this summer
to plan how they, too, can commit suicide next year and
get as much
out of it as the two did at Columbine. Even Y2K
may not have the
potential for disruption that this does.
Only true Christian love can put out this fuse.
Love reaches out to
the lowly, just as the Lord Jesus did when He walked
the earth. In
fact, He reached out to some of the lowliest and most
disenfranchised
people and made them His leaders. We will not accomplish
His work on
the earth until we learn to do it His way.
Reggie White addressed this crucial point when he spoke
to the kids at
Columbine. He exhorted the kids to reach out to
the lowly. How could
the situation have changed if the star athletes at these
schools had
used their influence to reach out and help the disenfranchised
instead
of picking on them? What could have been changed
if the kids on the
fringes had all been sought out and treated with love
and respect? We
cannot expect non-Christians to do this, but if the Christian
students
did it with the grace that we have received from the
Lord who reached
out to us, soon everyone would see that it is the right
thing to do.
A fact that Bob Weiner has tried to convey to the church
for many
years is that both the man who planned the bombing of
Pearl Harbor and
the man who commanded the Japanese forces that carried
out the attack
were both educated in America, and both were ostracized
and offended
by the way that they were treated here. How could
history have been
changed if they had been befriended and treated with
respect instead?
Love can change the world. Love will never fail.
SOLUTION #4:
We must stop worshiping idols.
I do not want to point the finger at anyone in particular,
and as I
shared previously, I think that many churches could use
the kind of
leadership that Columbine High has, but there was something
in the
culture of the school that was like a mirror of America
in some ways.
Some of the kids who I listened to said that almost every
assembly was
for the purpose of making sports awards, and many of
the kids said
that if the students were not involved in sports, they
were considered
"a second class citizen." This is not the fault
of Columbine, but
sports has become a god in our country, and athletes
are just about
the only heroes left. However, there are teachers
making less in a
year than a good professional athlete makes in a game,
and that
teacher can have a greater impact on the future of our
country than
even the biggest sports star.
I was surprised and blessed when the group from CAUSE
that visited
Columbine started addressing the need for recognizing
the true heroes
of society the parents, teachers and the leaders who
affect our
everyday lives. For anyone else to have said that
could have seemed
like jealousy, but they said it in the right place, at
the right time,
and in the right spirit.
SOLUTION #5:
When the enemy strikes, the church must mobilize and strike
back
many times harder, in the same area.
Last week Don Potter and I went to visit a creative writing
class at a
local high school in Moravian Falls. I did not
go to teach as much as
to listen, and I learned a lot. One student complained
that the two
boys who murdered their classmates in Littleton stole
the innocence of
their whole generation like nothing else had. She
said that now they
all go to school in fear every day, and these two boys
"had no right
to do this." No they didn't, but Satan does not
play fair, and we
must not expect him to. However, love is more powerful
than hate, and
evil can be overcome with good. If the Christians
in Littleton rise
up and respond to this whole tragedy with love instead
of bitterness,
faith instead of fear, many more souls will ultimately
be saved than
were lost.
Already the tragedy in Littleton has resulted in a multitude
of
salvations. Someone estimated that as many as 600
people met the Lord
just through the activities that were sponsored by CAUSE
the weekend
of our visit to the school. I believe that many
of those may have
been rededications to the Lord, but even so, those too
are a great
victory. There were unquestionably many new conversions
as well.
>From what I saw on the students of Columbine, I know
that they can
have an extraordinary impact in the future. The
two assassins had
planted over 30 bombs at the school, and if just a couple
of them had
gone off, it is possible that many hundreds of others
would have been
killed. As I looked at those students that day,
I thought about the
prophetic movie, "Saving Private Ryan." After a
number of men had
died trying to save this one private, the captain, who
was also dying,
called him closer so that he could speak to him.
All he said to him
was, "Earn it." Private Ryan understood: he had
to do something good
with the life he had been given at such a cost.
Many more of those students at Columbine had been scheduled
for death
by the enemy of our souls. They have been given
more time for a
reason, and I pray that they will use it. However,
every one of us
was marked for death. Our lives were also purchased
at a great cost,
one greater than we could ever pay or earn. Every
day that we are
given is a gift, and we are under obligation to use it.
Pray for the
students of Columbine High, and Littleton, Colorado.
Pray that a
thousand souls will be saved for every one that was lost,
and that
they will all be used to impart faith in every place
where the enemy
has spread fear.
SOLUTION #6:
Give your kids a job.
What does this have to do with Columbine? A lot.
One reason for the
explosive increase of lawlessness and suicide that we
are seeing in
the emerging generation is because they lack a clear
identity and
purpose. Because we were created for the Lord and
to have fellowship
with God who is Spirit, we can never find true peace
or fulfillment
until we are walking in our purpose in the Lord.
The Scriptures state that we were known by Him before
the beginning
because we each have a destiny, a purpose. Finding
that purpose is
the ultimate drive in every human being, and it cannot
be found apart
from the Lord. Believe it or not, one of the ways
that we find our
purpose is through labor.
Adam was created for fellowship with God, but he was also
created for
the purpose of cultivating the garden. Toil is
a part of the curse,
but not labor. Toil is defined as "accomplishing
with great and
painful effort." In Hebrews 3 and 4, the Promised
Land is equated
with entering God's rest. However, God's rest is
not the absence of
labor, but is in fact also linked with labor. We
see this in Matthew
11:29-30:
Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle
and
humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls.
For My yoke is easy, and My load is light.
A yoke speaks of work, but when we are yoked with the
Lord or labor
with Him, we actually find rest for our souls.
It may come as a shock
at first, but the child labor laws are a big part of
the reason for
the disorientation that teenagers suffer in these times.
At the very
time in their lives when they need focus, responsibility
and work, our
laws do not allow it. Now I do believe that these
laws were intended
to correct serious and tragic abuses of children, but
as such laws
often do, they went to an extreme that can be even more
devastating to
children.
I have studied history quite extensively for more than
30 years and
before the child labor laws were passed, I do not remember
seeing
anything written about the kind of youth problems that
we have today.
I was amazed when I read that only a fraction of teenagers
who own a
horse fall to the kinds of problems that others have
simply because
they have the responsibility of taking care of the horse.
As the
Scripture states in Lamentations 3:27, "It is good for
a man that he
should bear the yoke in his youth."
As parents we have the responsibility to give our children
meaningful
responsibilities and to help them experience the joy
of accomplishment
that comes from it. Laying around without responsibility
is contrary
to the nature that we were created with, and it will
lead to
confusion, disorientation and hopelessness. As
the old proverb
states, it is true that "Idleness is the devil s workshop."
SOLUTION #7:
Honor our fathers and mothers.
This is the only commandment with a promise. If
we obey it, our days
will be extended upon the earth. In a sense, we
are all like Private
Ryan. A great generation arose that grew up through
the Depression.
It would be a very special Christmas for most of them
if they received
an apple or orange, and maybe a ten cent toy. Many
of them graduated
from high school to go directly to the battlefields of
Europe and the
Pacific. As "Saving Private Ryan" so powerfully
captured, the true
horror and confusion of war that these young men and
women endured,
(many of whom were still in their teens) was unendurable.
D-Day was
the end of many young lives and a horror for all who
experienced it,
but for many it was one of the better days in the battle
across
Europe.
Every day those kids who are now our parents and grandparents,
experienced the terror of bullets and bombs that might
have snuffed
out their young lives at any instant. They watched
their friends die
every day. Few days passed without the terror of
artillery barrages
falling all around them, causing them to cower in ditches
and even
sewer pits to try to stay alive. They slogged forward
through the
coldest winter in the history of Europe, many without
winter clothing
or supplies. They fought all day and spent the
night trying to keep
moving so that they would not freeze to death, often
going days at a
time without sleep. What the G.I. s experienced
through the winter of
1944-45 was much worse than what the Continental Army
endured at
Valley Forge. Yet when ordered to attack they did
so, knowing that it
would probably be their last moments on earth.
Some American infantry
companies experienced 300% casualties in just a few months,
meaning
that the equivalent of the entire company had been replaced
three
times. Still, those who remained marched on.
Those who read the stories of what the G.I. s did in WWII
cannot
believe how they endured all that they did. But
they did it because
they had to. They could not let the dark tyranny
of the times
prevail, and they persevered until the victory was won.
The generation of the Depression and World War II returned
to become
known as the generation who almost never complained.
Having grown up
in hardship, they learned leadership. They continued
to live a life
of sacrifice to build the modern world that we now enjoy.
As that
generation is now passing away, I believe that they are
now
prophetically saying to us, "Earn it." They have
left us with a lot,
in the natural and in the spirit. The only way
that we can ever thank
them is to not waste what they have passed on to us.
Christians are called to be the light of the world.
If the world is
slipping into greater darkness, we must acknowledge that
this is
happening on our watch. I am of the "baby boomer"
generation that I
believe lives between two of the greatest generations
that the world
will ever know. They are our parents and our children.
The Lord is
called "the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob," which means
that He is
the God of every generation. We need to see His
purpose in every
generation.
The baby boomer generation is similar to the Isaac between
Abraham and
Jacob. Just about the only significant thing that
Isaac did was pass
on the blessing. We, too, have a great blessing
to pass on. Just as
Jacob came forth with an attitude, but eventually became
Israel, the
arising generation will have an attitude problem.
However, they will
prevail in the end with God and with men. It is
right to honor
Abraham, but it is soon going to be Jacob's time.
Let us do all that
we can to help prepare the way for the generation that
is coming.
They, too, will have a world war to fight against tyranny.
Perhaps it
will be "the war to end all wars."
"Web Page Revelation"
July 7, 1998
I believe this revelation applies to the body of Christ and is a current move of the Lords Spirit world wide.
The middle of May 1998 the Lord moved me to fast & pray. It was during this time that I was formally introduced to the internet. Up until this time, I had no desire at all to get into this stuff. During a prayer time, the Lord spoke to me to create a web page. Once again the Lord asked me to do something that I didn't have a clue about. But I was willing.
In prayer times I would continue to see the web page, & a captains wheel. I also saw a eagle swooping down with talons stretched out ready to snatch the prey. I saw a balance with a woman holding it, & a lead weight that was being uncovered from a basket of wickedness. The Lord spoke to me that this nation is being weighed in the balance & has been found wanting. The Lord calls us His special people & we are expected to have just weight & balance. Prophets such as Isaiah, Jerimiah & Ezekiel use the picture of weights and balances to call Israel to repentance and righteous living. Proper scales become the symbol of human integrity, honesty & righteousness.
During that time frame, at our service one Friday night, we got caught up in worship. We were in the Holy of Holies & visions of the ark & coals were seen. The Lord revealed to me an ink well & writers quill. Then I saw an fountain pen & notebook....then a computer keyboard. The Lord asked me...."daughter, what do these have in common?" I said writing.... Lord. He said, "you're right, and you shall write all I give you." The different means of writing, speaks of the advances of communications. Clara, a deaconess here at this ministry, shared a dream with us that evening & my daughter Meggie had a dream that went with that one. Some of the dream that Clara had is personal, so I will relate only what is applicable to the body of Christ. She saw a room filled with people, with allot of clamor. She heard lots of voices speaking negative about what was going on in the next room. She related that none of the distractions were hindering what I had to do. As we walked into the next room, it appeared to be outside somewhere. On the ground was a white sheet that went as far as the eye could see. The edges were emerald green & the sheet was pure white. She further related, that two people I know, walked out on the sheet, then she said I prophesied "your mouth, your hands & feet." These two people fell under the power of God, then I walked out on the sheet & I fell under the power. The Lord gave me the interpretation the next morning.
The pure white sheet represents a web page. The pure white.... symbolic of the purity of the words & the means on which they are written. The emerald green border symbolic of new beginning. The size of the page as far as the eye can see, represents the ramifications of influence & international scope, for there seemed to be no end, like looking at the horizon. The prophesy, "your mouth, your hands & feet" means that the spoken, written, walked out word of God shall multiply beyond our traditional methods. We will literally walk out the living Word of God......for we stand on His Word.
Cyberspace belongs to the kingdom & we are to possess it by force. Remember, we will face new devils on new levels. International cyberspace devils. Possessing the land includes the internet. Ramifications of influence in every nation, in isolated areas, we will go into all the world with the gospel.
You may wonder, why God would ask me to do something that I don't know how to do. Not only did the Lord tell me to create a web page, He also gave me a time frame in which it would be done. The Lord spoke to me, that the page would be up by the end of June. That was quite a step, since I didn't know how to walk. The beginning of June, I did not have a clue what to do, I just prayed & took off exploring on the web, learning all I could. Around the end of May when I was playing on the computer, my son taught me how to surf the web. Of course, being from the prophetic persuasion, I surfed right in to the prophets camp ground. I was amazed how much prophetic words there were available & easily got lost inside every night for hours. For some reason, I kept being drawn like a magnet to a place called Faith Tabernacle. It did not matter where I explored, I always ended up back there somehow. It was during this time frame that the Lord spoke to me about striking the waters, casting salt & pronouncing jubilee over this area. I came to the small straws, trumpet & what's up pages. I read prophecies that were like coded orders for me. They were exactly what God had said for me to do. I went to the rivers on May 31, 1998 feast of Pentecost. Since that day, it has been like a cap came off this particular well, & has been gushing ever since. Oh yeah..... the web page was up by June 24, 1998. To the Glory of The Father!
